[INTRO]
A5 / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / /

[VERSE 1]
       F#m              E    D
When I stand accused by my regrets
        A               E     D

And the devil roars his empty threats
       F#m              E/G#    A

I will preach the gospel to myself
    D     A     E      A 

That I am not a man condemned
    D     A         E  A5

For Jesus Christ is my defense

[CHORUS 1]
          A      E      F#m
My sin is nailed to the cross
   D       A      E      F#m

My soul is healed by the scars
    D         A       E       F#m

The weight of guilt I bear no more
D          A     E          A

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord

[VERSE 2]
        F#m                  E    D
When my doubt and shame hang over me
          A           E     D

Like the arrows of the enemy
       F#m         E/G#   A

I will run again to Calvary
     D      A       E        A

That rugged hill of hell's defeat
    D       A       E   A5

My fortress and my victory

[CHORUS 2]
          A      E      F#m
My sin is nailed to the cross
   D       A      E      F#m

My soul is healed by the scars
    D         A       E       F#m

The weight of guilt I bear no more
D          A     E          A

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
   D      A      E      F#m
My sin is nailed to the cross
   D       A      E      F#m

My soul is healed by the scars
    D     A   E      F#m

Now I'm alive forevermore
D          A     E          A

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord

[BRIDGE x2]
      D                F#m
It is finished, sin is vanquished
     A                 E

Hallelujah, praise the Lord
        D              F#m

All the glory, all the honor
      A                  E

To my Savior, Christ the Lord

[VERSE 3]
       F#m                  E    D
When I stand before the throne at last
    A                   E      D

His blood will plead my innocence
       F#m              E/G#   A

I will worship Him with holy hands
     D      A      E          A

And raise the song that never ends
   D      A         E        A5

Of Jesus Christ, my righteousness

[CHORUS 3]
          A      E      F#m
My sin is nailed to the cross
   D       A      E      F#m

My soul is healed by the scars
    D         A       E       F#m

The weight of guilt I bear no more
D          A     E          A

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
   D      A      E      F#m
My sin is nailed to the cross
   D       A      E/G#    F#m

My soul is healed by the scars
    D     A   E      F#m

Now I'm alive forevermore
D          A     E          A

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
   D          A     E          A
Oh praise the Lord, praise the Lord
